R-32 refrigerant gas is a pure HFC, with zero impact on the ozone layer and low global warming potential,
used in its pure form in new small air-conditioning and refrigeration equipment as well as having being
commonly used as a component in various HFC mixtures.
R-32 is suitable for new equipment specifically designed for R-32, in applications that used to use R-410A.
Its GWP of 675 is within the acceptable limits for refrigerant gases used in new equipment (splits) with a
load less than 3 kg, put on the market from 01/01/2025, in compliance with European Regulation (EC) No.
517/2014.
It is a more energetically efficient refrigerant than R-410A and has a GWP of 675, which is
68% lower than R-410A.
Applications:
It has been used as a component in well-known industry HFC mixtures such as R-407C, R-410A,
R-442A (RS-50), R-407F, R-453A (RS-70), etc.
R-32 is classified as “flammable” and is therefore not a refrigerant designed for refits of R-410A.
Given that R-32 is a pure refrigerant, it can be transferred in both the liquid phase and gas phase.
As it is a pure refrigerant, it has no temperature glide. In the event of a leak, the equipment can be filled
directly without the need to recover the remaining refrigerant in the circuit.

Lubricants
R-32 is compatible with polyester oils. In air-conditioning applications, the same oils used with R-410A will
be valid for R-32.
NB: According to a US study by the Air-conditioning and Refrigeration Technology Institute, Inc., published
in 1993, it was observed that R-32 was not miscible in all concentrations of synthetic POE oils from
temperatures below -10°C. This point must be taken into account for mixtures developed for working at
low refrigeration temperatures.
Environmental Information
R-32 is free from chlorine, and therefore has an ODP (ozone depletion potential) of 0.
RS-32 has a low potential for directly affecting global warming, thereby reducing CO2 emissions in the
event of direct leakage.
Safety
R-32 is listed as “mildly flammable” according to ASHRAE 34 and the ISO 817, standard and it would only
ignite if its concentration were between the lower and upper flammability limits:
R-32 is classified as A2L (Group L2), i.e., low flammability as the combustion speed is
rather low and it is non-toxic.
R-32 is a substance with very little toxicity. The LC50 4-hour inhalation rate in rats is 1,107,000 mg/m3
(OECD 403) and the NOEL in relation to heart problems is approximately 735,000 mg/m3 in dogs. R-32
containers should be stored in cool, well-ventilated areas, away from open flames, sparks and heat
sources. Avoid exposure to direct sunlight and accumulation of static discharges. Keep away from food,
drink and animal feed.
